The second day of Week 7 started with another old school rivalry between CLG versus Dignitas. The game started with an old TSM favorite strategy of starting a 3v1 to take early towers. Within 4 minutes both teams managed to get down the first tower, CLG also managed to obtain first blood shortly after that with a great death sentence by Chauster. Unfortunately for Dignitas they looked out of sync as CLG managed to scrape kills whenever possible. Doublelift started the game with 2/3 of the kills for CLG, causing trouble at every oppurtunity for Dignitas. At 22 minutes in after an abundance of minor skirmishes both teams finally team fight. CLG completely dominates Dignitas bringing the score 11 to 2. CLG then grabs Baron after finding Crumbzz in the jungle. CLG destroys Dignitas with Baron ending the game with 13 kills to 2.

Curse has been on a role and have won 4 straight. With their sights set on second place Curse looked to power through Velocity in the second game of the day. Like game 1 of CLG vs DIG, both teams opted to 3v1 against the tower. Even with the gold lead and primary map control, Velocity managed to grab dragon. Teams today opted to start small with skirmishes trading 1 for 1, before heading to start teamfights. Curse anaged to grab the second dragon, however they were being chased down afterwards. Velocity was just grouped up a little too much as Nyjacky's Orianna managed to snare almost every member in the shockwave, followed up by Edward's Nami bubble. The Wombo Combo was just too much for Velocity to handle as every team fight after that point spelled death for them. Curse had no problem at all just crushing down Velocity with ultimates at every oppurtunity.

TSM vs C9 was the third match. C9 who have been on a roll came into the game with a 9 game winstreak, TSM hoped to be the team to stop them. For the third game straight both teams opted to 3v1 to take down the initial tower, unlike the first two however both teams pushed towards the second tower as well. The first teamfight was when C9 were gathering at dragon, Xpecial unfortunately gets destroyed by C9 with a wonderful arrow from Ashe. With the first blood, C9 tried to do dragon, TSM however went all in and fought them in a 4v5. C9 managed to win the fight and brought the score up to 5 to 4. The game was quite action packed as both teams kept trading in fights to bring the score to 7 to 5. At every oppurtunity to fight C9 took it knowing that they had the advantage, and took a 27 minute baron. With the Baron buff C9 capitalized on their strangths and shoved and killed until nothing could stop them.
